Hola, ¿cómo estás?
...and that concludes the extent of my Spanish... aside from dos cervezas, por favor! Y vino! Excelente! Muchas gracias! You know, it's all about priorities over here.
The days spent honeymooning were those of which dreams are made of. When we were living it, I pinched myself just to make sure that I wasn't dreaming, and now that we're back, I daydream (often) about being there again. Mornings meant waking up to palm trees, blue skies, and the songs of birds as we spent extra moments snuggled in the sheets. Calm washed over us each day as we took note of our lack-of schedule, and nothing but the beach to conquer.
When I look back on our time together, I can’t
help the smile that stretches across my face. All the moments we spent in
stillness as we lazed by the pool, books in hand, not a word needing to be
spoken. Long walks on the beach, and parasailing high above the ocean (that is –
until we were completely dunked into it – both exhilarating and totally
terrifying for me!)
Our one week anniversary celebrated with a private
candlelit dinner on the beach, complete with a four-course meal, constant
stream of vino, and never-ending conversation that connected us together even
more as time went on.
We ate when we were hungry, napped at least
twice a day, burned through books, and talked for hours on end. We
felt like total ballers lounging on our terrace, Bob Marley playing in the
background, as we soaked up the sun, and drank from our mini-bar. We ventured
out on photography missions, and even battled the ocean in a kayak. (I’m still
wondering who won the battle – my pride says we did, but the ocean who
so-conveniently decided to form white caps out of nowhere, flip us over and then
continue to smash waves our way over and
over and over is probably still laughing!)
But this particular day? I woke up before the sun,
ran down to the beach to see it rise and spent the day hamming it up for the
camera while frolicking across the sand.
...And can I just say – hot damn! I love this man.
Let the daydreaming begin ;)
